Season 28 Episode 9: Endoscopes, Megaphones, Uranium

Miniature optical fibres, cameras, lights and control cables are installed inside flexible tubing to create medical endoscopes. Moulded horns, microphones, amplifiers and speakers become portable megaphones, while uranium-bearing ore is mined, crushed and processed into a concentrated material that can undergo further preparation for use as nuclear fuel.
